In order to carry out certain business functions, such as order fulfilment, e-mail delivery, or marketing, we sometimes hire other companies to perform services on our behalf. We may disclose personally identifiable information that we collect about you to these companies to enable them to perform these services, but all agents and contractors are required to uphold the standards prescribed by the NPPs and are not authorised to use it for any other purpose than completing their contractual requirements to Location Analysts. For example, as a part of the normal process of completing your purchase, Location Analysts may provide your personal data to a third party payment processor, such as WorldPay Ltd., depending on your chosen method of payment. Please be aware that, because of the limitations of the systems used by some financial institutions, the statement you receive from your credit card or financial institution may show the name of a third party payment processor, such as WorldPay Ltd., instead of or in addition to the Location Analysts name. In addition, we may share the information we collect with other companies with whom we have joint marketing arrangements. We may also disclose information, including personal information, we collect about you in other circumstances as required or permitted by law.

In addition, it is possible that in the future another company may acquire Location Analysts or its assets. It is also possible that Location Analysts may partner with or purchase another company to continue to do business as a combined entity. In the event that this occurs, it is possible that our customer information, including your personal information, may be transferred to the new business entity as one of Location Analysts’s assets.
